OPERATION
WARNING:
•
It should never be necessary to force the tool.
The weight of the tool applies adequate pres-
sure. Forcing and excessive pressure could
cause dangerous wheel breakage.
•
ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while
grinding.
•
NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto
work.
•
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, espe-
cially when working corners, sharp edges etc.
This can cause loss of control and kickback.
•
NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and
other sawblades. Such blades when used on a
grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control
leading to personal injury.
CAUTION:
•
Never switch on the tool when it is in contact
with the workpiece, it may cause an injury to
operator.
•
Always wear safety goggles or a face shield
during operation.
•
After operation, always switch off the tool and
wait until the wheel has come to a complete stop
before putting the tool down.
Grinding and sanding operation
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on rear
handle and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool
on and then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an
angle of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not
work the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into
the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been
rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A
and B direction.

Operation with wire cup brush
(optional accessory)
CAUTION:
•
Check operation of brush by running tool with no
load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line
with brush.
•
Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is
out of balance. Use of damaged brush could
increase potential for injury from contact with
broken brush wires.
► 1. Wire cup brush 2. Urethane washer
Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy
access to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle.
Mount urethane washer then thread wire cup brush onto
spindle and tighten with supplied wrench. When using
brush, avoid applying too much pressure which causes
over bending of wires, leading to premature breakage.
NOTE:
•
When using wire cup brush, mount urethane
washer to the spindle. It will make it easier to
remove wire cup brush.
Operation with wire wheel brush
(optional accessory)
CAUTION:
•
Check operation of wire wheel brush by running
tool with no load, insuring that no one is in front
of or in line with the wire wheel brush.
•
Do not use wire wheel brush that is damaged,
or which is out of balance. Use of damaged wire
wheel brush could increase potential for injury
from contact with broken wires.
•
ALWAYS use guard with wire wheel brushes,
assuring diameter of wheel fits inside guard.
Wheel can shatter during use and guard helps
to reduce chances of personal injury.
